The competition&#8217;s goal was to design a collection and composting technique to convert biodegradable waste into energy for the UAE. The various UAE university teams participating created innovative solutions to tackle the Middle East\u2019s growing waste management problem in sustainable ways. Specifically, SaadiyaTech\u2019s students developed a project consisting of a small scale Microwave Induced Plasma Gasificator (MIPG) system, which, together with a small scale Membrane BioReactor plant (MBR), can convert multiple types of waste into clean energy for electricity, as well as clean water for irrigation purposes. After having conducted a meticulous financial, market, and regulatory analysis, the team, pitched its solution to a panel of judges and won the prize for <em>Best Environmental Impact<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, March 2nd, the team SaadiyaTech (Nastassja Gerlich, Federico Jannelli, Elvira Selivanova, Yehowahi Sekan, Steffanie Dias) from the New York University Abu Dhabi won a trophy at the Shell plc \u2013 INJAZ competition hosted by the Dutch Pavilion. Special thanks also to their three mentors, Joseph Harrison (Shell Abu Dhabi), Prof. Daniel Johnson (NYUAD), and Prof. Philip Panicker (NYUAD), for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"5052\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INJAZ-PIC-2-1-1-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INJAZ-PIC-2-1-1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INJAZ-PIC-2-1-1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INJAZ-PIC-2-1-1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INJAZ-PIC-2-1-1-2.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"5053\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4454-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4454-1-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4454-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4454-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"5054\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A3918-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A3918-1-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A3918-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A3918-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"5051\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4478-1-1-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4478-1-1-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4478-1-1-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/cities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1R5A4478-1-1-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 1st, the CITIES\/NYUAD\u2019s Team SaadiyaTech (previously Green Arabia at another event at the Expo Dubai Swiss Pavilion) participated in the Youth for Sustainability competition organized by Shell plc and INJAZ UAE, which took place at the Expo\u2019s Dutch Pavilion.
